"I GATE-PAPA"

Logan is soooo funny, I woke up to finding Logan and Janae using their Gator Golf clubs to pretend and fight the Huns (from Mulan) then they went downstairs and I heard them saying, "I gate-papa" aka Great-Papa (my mom's dad who is 90) and then Logan turned the golf club into a cane, hunched over, talked in the oldest voice he could, shaking his hand in the air and proceeded to imitate their gate-papa. It was the funniest thing I ever have seen, he was saying stuff but I couldn't understand him, he was probably yelling at some kids playing on him lawn or something ;) it was sooooo funny, I wish I could have caught it on video. LOL --- LOVE YOU GATE-PAPA!!!!!!!

SHOCKERS

Yeah I am home from a full filled week in Globe. I had fun but really missed my kids and hubby who I had not seen since sunday day for an hour. Nice, well we made it through the horrible traffic and opted to stay in town and eat at a oh so nice steak house place at the local casino where we got the hook up. Anyway, today we got up, hung out and took the kids to the inlaws since we both had to work tonight and dropped off our car to get an oil change. Then we walked to our most FAVORITE mexican shack, truly truly AMAZING! On the way over there we held hands, it was so nice, sometimes among the hustle and bustle with kids we forget to do the small but so important things. Ok that was the highlight of my day (besides my kids making me feel so loved, man I miss them right now). Then I got home from work, we are pushing 3am at this point, go to set the alarm for church, cause we really need to go even though I could SOOOO sleep through the whole thing and then some, I literally touched the alarm with my pointer finger and SHOCK!!! We met with a spark and it killed my alarm clock. Seriously, can anything else happen to stop us from going to church?!?! Weird, its totally totally dead, done, zip zilch nada, its a gonner. So we are going to have to rely on the kids as our alarm clock in the morning. But the problem is every time we do that they seem to sleep in. But I better get off the computer and sleep since its 3:35am, ahhhh I need to be up in 4hrs the latest. Stupid shockers :) I am in a lovey mood right now I can wait to go upstairs and squeeze my squishy!

MARICOPA I HATE YOU!!!!

Here is why I hate you soooo much....
1. I haven't seen my husband all week, planned a date night and you ruined it!
2. You ruined it by closing down the ONLY, and I mean ONLY road to my house, curse you!
3. You allow passenger trains to come through and stop RIGHT over the tracks and cause a delay for 45 minutes
4. You are to dumb to realize a solution to the problem
5. You made me eat a whole king size kit kat and medium fry cause I was stressed out for sitting so long (well plus the fries were hot and fresh)
6. Non-emergency 911 for Maricopa knows nothing about whats going on in the city, idiots
7. Once again now I am too tired to go on a date night, fine I will drink 2 red bulls (and regret it later) date night back on with my orpa!
8. THANK YOU THANK YOU THAT I GET TO MOVE OUT OF THIS STUPID SUBDIVISION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TRACKS....CURSE YOU STUPID TRACKS!!!
9. I cannot wait to move, cause I won't have to do this stupid drive anymore
10. And last but not least Happy B-Day to my 2...I mean 3 girl friends (cause one of them is a twin :D)

SORRY FOR THE ANGER RELEASE! IT HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TRACKS, I PROMISE YOU WOULD LOOSE IT ONE DAY TOO. Once in 4 1/2 yrs isn't too bad right?!

WATCH OUT COWBOYS HERE COMES SOME COWGIRLS

What is there to do in Maricopa, a secluded city, surrounded by desert for miles and miles, no Target, mall, movie theater, bowling alley, miniature golfing, golf cart riding....ride a house! How country western can you get, but hey its super fun! I think Janae and I are wanna-be cowgirls! Logan didn't want to ride Copper, let alone, touch her but after he saw Janae he said he wanted to until he got on her....uhhhh, then he changed his mind really quickly, I had to get a picture before he got off :) because I am selfish. Janae wanted to go again and again, she even lead the horse by herself.

SHE SAID WHAT?! SHE DID WHAT?! JANAE!!!!

So this morning Janae and I sent Logan off to preschool and I decided to treat her to McDonald's breakfast then go to the library. She choose where we sat, it should be no big deal right? Well there is a group of three ladies sitting three feet away from us after sitting there for a bit she pipes up, pointing to them, "Mom those girls are FAT!" WHAT are you serious? I told her so fast that we don't say that its not nice (I don't know where she got that from), then about 5 minutes later she says even louder, "MOM THOSE GIRLS AREN'T FAT!!" now it looks like I said it and she is correcting ME! Holy cow, I was embarrassed, I am not sure if they heard cause I was not looking up at this point. Nice, another five minutes pass, I am texting Adam and all of the sudden the fire alarm goes off in the whole place, immediately I look up and see Janae standing up right next to the fire alarm she just pulled, that was right next to her chair. It was going off for like 5 minutes before they tried to turn it off, they realized the screw they had to tighten to turn it off was stripped (I wonder why maybe because kids have pulled it so many times, put a stupid cover over it or don't put a table and chairs right next to it!) After 15 minutes we gave up and left, the alarm still sounding. They were on the phone when we left with the fire department or something trying to get the thing turned off. LOL - - - - way to start a morning huh?! Finally made it to the library and left there with no catastrophes :)

There's Something In The Air

Last night on the way home Adam serenaded Janae for like 30 minutes on our way home, it was so cute. She kept saying again again. And he had to look at her when he was singing, eventually he couldn't think of anymore church songs and went to Christmas songs. Wow am I ready now for Christmas, its all I can think about. Just the smell of it and being with family, its the best!


I love my husband, he is the best, very supportive and helpful. I am so lucky, I can't believe we are coming up on 6 years of being married and Dec 19th will be 7 years since we have been together. He is starting to communicate more and more and I love it, its so great that my husband can communicate instead of being mute lol --- Love ya

Zoey Jade's Debute!! Happy Birthday!!

HOTTIE TOTTIE!!

Ahh so cute, Jen hurry post this on your facebook! :D
Sexy Mama's!!

Oh Logan, you don't know how cute you are!

We were driving home from Fry's and Logan says the following

Logan: "Is the earth a big huge planet?"
Mommy: "Yes it is!"
Logan: "Its so big I can't even carry it!"

Can't describe how cute you are, the next segment shows his manly side...you gotta go when you gotta go!

Just pulled up to Costco a couple of days ago Logan said he had to pee I told him ok lets go inside and I didn't even get a chance to get out of the car and he was already out of the door with like 20 people around in front of everyone started to pee....NIIICE!!

The next morning I was out front talking to the neighbor turned around and he was in his one piece pj's unzipped them, was standing by the tree, hanging out and all, about to water the tree. He is trying to be water aware, trying to save me money by not using the toilet. How lovely!!


And Janae right now keeps saying she quits!! I love my babies!

LOGAN'S FIRST FIELDTRIP!!

Today Logan's preschool class went on a field trip to the Science Center and I got to be a chaperone. It was so fun! We also took one of Logan's schoolmates, so in reality it was like I had 3 kids. Silly Sheena doesn't believe in flats or tennis shoes unless your hiking so I wore like 4" heels. I didn't think it would be THAT big of deal....but after chasing JANAE and taking kids back and forth to the bathroom cause they all couldn't pee at the same time and walking from the parking garage all the way to the center and back, PHEEEWWWWW!!! I was tired! We went into the planetarium show which was cool, Janae might have ADHD, she will NEVER listen to me and can't sit still to save her life. She eventually winded up laying on her stomach on my lap with her head at my knees, pulled up her shirt so I could tickle her back....wow Janae I have spoiled you too much! Luckily when we got home the kids went down for a nap and so did I....I will post pictures when I have more time, HI-HO, HI-HO, ITS OFF TO WORK I GO!

MOMMY FOR HIRE?!?!

Yesterday I was doing Janaes hair and she didn't really want me doing it, turns around and says


"YOUR FIRED!!"


Nice try, its not THAT easy! I'm in it for the long haul and am sure that is only the first of many "Your fired" statements!

HOLY COW THIS MONTH IS GETTING BUSIER AND BUSIER!!!

Betty Crocker....I Think NOT!!

WOW WOW WOW, I out did myself today. I thought I would be so nice and make dinner instead of letting the food go bad and just go out to eat. Ahhh cause that would be too easy....NOOOOO
(1) food to prep, (2) oven to heat up, (3) house to cool down because of the oven, (4) recipe to watch on tv a million times to get it right that was dvr'd, (5) dinner mess to clean up, (6) dishes to wash, (7) dishes to put away (8) food to put away, (9) counters to clean, (10) floor to sweep, nothing....maybe that's why I like to eat out so much. All you have to do is (1) order your food and (2) pay the bill

So here is how my night went
Decided to make lemony shrimp scampi pasta with roasted broccoli, sounds good huh, looks even better when a chef makes it. I started to make it, we are on a good roll I make my own broth with the shrimp shells, onion and some water. I let it simmer for 20 minutes then was supposed to drain it but into a pan that was on the stove instead without thinking I let it drain into the sink, broth and everything that was going to make the sauce for my noodles gone. So I now have cold broccoli, noodles and shrimp scampi but nothing to pull it all together with, I was going to throw the towel in but Adam came to the rescue and as usual fixed it and made it so good, better than I probably would have done. So I decided to make cookies, well Adam had to get a head start on them bc I had company when I joined the party I ended up getting flour all over the kitchen and realized I used powdered sugar instead of regular sugar and forgot to put my butter in which shouldn't be a big deal but I had quadrupled the batch so Adam again came to the rescue and mixed the butter in the whole batch. Now I sit here with every dish used that I own and now I have to wash them and for what 10lbs of cookies that are going to make me more out of shape than I already am?!?! Man I need to go to the gym right now!!


And that's why I don't cook :( I suck at it

CHICKEN AND PEE-WATER

Here is a conversation that happened in our car yesterday

ADAM: Is it wrong to feed a bird chicken?
ME: Is it wrong to feed a human human?
ADAM: Uh yeah...
ME/ADAM: Hahaha
LOGAN: That's not even funny guys
ADAM: Oh is that too dumb for your intelligence?

Logan is so cute!!

Then this conversation happened this morning

LOGAN: Mom, looooook....(pee on his bathroom floor)
ME: That was from Ginger huh
JANAE: No it was me
ME: It was you?! No way, what is it...
JANAE: Water
ME: Yeah?
JANAE: Yep
ME: What happened? {about to go smell it to see if she is serious, and I believed her}
JANAE: {whisper} uh, no...I think it was Ginger
ME: I thought so {yeah I wasn't really going to smell it}
JANAE: She's a bad girl. I think we need to get a new dog

MUD PIES FOR BREAKFAST MOMMY

My kids were so nice in letting me sleep in and wake up on my own yesterday. This is what I woke up to at 8am. I love their creativity!! The dog got in on the action too!

AN THE MOTHER OF THE DAY AWARD GOES TO...

NOT ME!! Sunday Adam was great, he played lots of games with the kids and I was like what is he trying to show me up? So I had it set in my mind Monday it would be Logan, Janae and Mommy's "DAY OF FUN" but yeah it didn't happen like that I woke up with a splitting headache and pretty much made a dent in my couch all day. I didn't take medicine because I kept saying I just need caffeine so I eventually gave up and got a Dr. Pepper at 4pm after watching The First 48 all day because I couldn't get off the couch I was in so much pain, I guess it didn't really help then I had a sugar free red bull, an hour and a half later another red bull but then some tylenol because I realized it was not a caffeine headache just the worst headache of my life, then 5 hours later I thought what the heck why not a Monster (my headache was gone) but then when I decided to go to bed at 3:45am it came back....Lesson learned?? I'm addicted to energy drinks even though they don't do anything for me they just taste AWESOME! :)

This morning I was regretting staying up so late (I did have to work though) but I came to the conclusion that they should legalize speed for moms, just a little but enough to become SUPER MOM!

Mini Recap

Since I despised my new camera I didn't download the pics til just now. Here is a mini recap before I have to pick up Logan from school of what has gone on since the end of August :)

Ooops I guess it turned out to be a full blown recap - captions to come later


WARD CAMPOUT WITH MY DADDY'S WARD








PUDDING PARTY








RAINY DAY MUDDY PLAY








DRESS UP AND PICTURE TIME






MY LITTLE SUNSHINES - ALL DONE UP








MY RAD MAN, TIRED PRINCESS AND THE WORLDS BEST AIR GUITAR

OH SEAWORLD HOW I LOVE THEE!!

Here is just a few cause I need to get off the computer, it is burning my lap I have been sitting here for so long, why oh why does that ALWAYS happen?! And I tell Adam he needs to time himself when he is on the computer, looks like I will be doing the same...

PS Adam is the best he just played bingo, gold fish and candyland - just for today he gets the 'PARENT OF THE DAY AWARD' but tomorrow its on like Donkey Kong

CELEBRATE!!

WOW I'm so excited. Two months ago I lost my $400 camera, not my proudest moment. I couldn't for the life of me remember where I last had it. It contained pictures from out family outting to SeaWorld and I was so sad it was such a great camera and I finally caved in and bought another one but it SUCKED in comparison. So I decided to organize my game closet because it had some boxes that needed to be thrown away and the kids would just put their games right inside the door when they were done playing with them and I get to Logan's birthday decoration bag and I knew there was a thing of stickers I had bought for the kids when they cleaned their room and helped around the house and I lifted up the bag and there, sitting beautifully was my CAMERA!!! I felt like I was in a dream holding out my camera twirling in a circle just me and my camera! Haha it was a beautiful thing so needless to say I am back in business and will take mucho picturos! And I have to upload our vaca pics - tata for now!

ROCKSTAR

Today the kids and I met Adam for lunch at Cafe Rio. We were in the middle of eating, I look at Logan he had his eyes closed and was completely rocking out with his air guitar to the song that was on in the background. It was so funny, he did it for like two minutes. I was silently (cause I didn't want to disturb him) rolling on the floor. It was truly truly the cutest thing I have ever seen and that is why I just love him to pieces!

I took a picture too

RED BULL OR BUST

WOW I have no idea how I am awake and even functioning right now. Last night I had to work late and didn't get to bed until 4:30ish and got up at 7:30 with the kids. Janae tried to wake me up at 6:45 but I wasn't having that so she just sat on my bed and read her scriptures for 45minutes. Now normally it wouldn't be a problem because I would make them breakfast and go back to sleep and get up when I can actually be some use as a mother. The kids are really good except there is not a lock on the freezer and Janae has shark teeth so she helps herself to the OtterPops, but if that's all I have to worry about I'm golden! Anyways, I got the kids breakfast and was like ok I can lay down for 45 minutes before I have to take Logan to school. Then I choose not too cause I didn't feel that tired and I would just nap after I dropped him off. I went to the bank, grocery shopping for the baby shower tonight, came home, made THEBOMB.COM SALSA with my sista ate a lot of it, chased my dog down the street, (still want to nap cause I know that this isn't human like to run off 3 hrs of sleep) but now I have to feed the kids lunch, got to a meeting at work at 1pm then decorate for the shower, friends coming over oh yeah I really should shower and wash my hair I look tore up. Then put the kids down, and finally find my pillow and blanket and fan that mutes out the sound that has been calling my name since 7:30 this morning! .............. I'm not even tired which is so weird

Maybe drinking a Red Bull at 3am has something to do with it....I might hit another one up!

BIG CITY HERE WE COME!!

So this is only what 5 years in the making, but we are finally getting out of Maricopa and moving close to family and civilization! We are so excited, no more driving 45 minutes to get to my moms...so nice!


Man I need to post pictures from when the kids and I went camping with my parents and stuff, ok I will get on that asap, but not today :)

4th Of July

Found some pics I didn't upload from 7/4/09...I was very proud of Adam for getting Janae so cute normally he gets her ready then I get her undressed and redressed. But this time I couldn't get over what a great job he did!

The pictures are backwards from how the night went I'm too lazy right now to rearrange all of them. We went to Pacana Park in Maricopa for their festives and fireworks, it was such a great atmosphere, they put a movie on for the kids in one section, they had a DJ, tons and tons of vendors with lots and lots of fatty foods, lots of port-o-pottys, it was a great time!! Logan was so glued to the fireworks I don't think he breathed once :) I love love love him!

Lost and Not Found

I have slacked off on lots of things like uploading our pictures from taking the kids to Seaworld with my baby brother, and taking pictures of the kids in general. Well, here comes Logan's first day of school and for some reason I didn't look for my camera until the morning of 1st day of school and I couldn't find it anywhere, then I realized I have no idea where it is. My nice camera, gone, lost somewhere in the world, probably all lonely. I am so mad, cause I have missed out on lots of pictures its been about a month and a half since I've seen it. So if you've seen it in the lost and found please let me know! :)

Like I said before Logan started preschool, I know he is almost old enough to start kindergarden, but his birthday is late so he is in preschool. I can already tell he is going to become a whiz because his 2nd day of school he said octopus, orange, owl, and other 'O' words have the sounds A, O, Ooo. It was so cute to hear him say that!

In a book he made that was "ALL ABOUT ME" it said things like, this is my family (he had to draw a picture), I am 4 years old, My favorite toy is....the Hulk Transformer (picture drawn), my favorite color is....red, orange, yellow, green and red, I live...in a house, I woke up at...10am (weird cause he woke me up at 6:30), I go to sleep at....68:00pm (everything to him is 68 lol!) I love it all about him, he is my little lovebuggy!!


Janae, is the biggest cuddle bug. The day she decides she is too grown up to cuddle anymore will be a very very sad day. Every morning she just crawls into bed with me and will lay there silent for like an hour then tells me, "Mom the suns awake!" She loves to get "Pretty like Mommy!"

Does anyone have some pills that will make my kids not grow up cause this is as perfect as it gets!!!

POTTY INTRUDER

This morning I made the kids breakfast, they were sitting there eating it and I was cleaning it up when the bathroom door downstairs shut. I turn and looked at it and was like what the heck, the dog is in a stiff position just looking at the door. I was thinking uh our doors don't just shut by themself that was weird. Then like 4 seconds later I hear the toilet seat go up, now my heartbeat is skyrocketing cause someone has broken into my house to use the bathroom. Quickly I was like maybe it Adam, then I was like no he would have said something to me. What should I do grab a knife, call Adam, make a run for the front door, say hello, scream, just wait and see if they kill me....then I hear them peeing...now the inside of my body is totally freaking out right about now. But I'm froze, then I turn to the kitchen table and realize Janae is gone....to the bathroom. So she is the potty intruder! I felt pretty dumb for jumping so fast to those thoughts, but who knows someone could have broken into my house to use my bathroom HEHEHE


Then I google a picture of a toilet and this comes up, could you image trying to go to the bathroom with that looking right at ya

"I GOT MY COUPON"

So Logan is obsessed with Transformers, totally loves it! He has the bed set, a big poster in his room, the big action figures, little action figures, and HIS COUPON! My mom gave him a coupon one day for $5 off a costume for Halloween, 20% of birthday stuff and a color picture of a transformer. He colored the picture and was in heaven. Carrying it around with him everywhere, to the grocery store, the babysitters, grandparents, cousins, everywhere. You would think it was the coolest toy in the planet, nope just a piece of paper. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?! He thinks his coupon is for $5000, its pretty cute. Needless to say his 5th b-day party will be transformers so come in your very best, if your a guy and then if your a girl you get to be a mermaid cause that's what Janae is wanting and they are having their birthday party together since they are 2 days apart. Very excited for Ariel to meet Megatron!! :o)

BLUE EYES

I am sitting here trying to find a place to stay in San Diego tomorrow (why we do everything on short notice, no one knows) so Janae is talking, talking, talking, talking my ear off and wants my undivided attention, wants to crawl all over me, and its very distracting! So she wants me to watch her do something and says the following

"Mom, look at me"...."Mom, look at me"...."Mom, look at my eyes"...."Look at my blue eyes mom"...."Mom I said look at me"...."Mom...1...2...YOUR NOT LISTENING TO ME!"

She is very proud of that she has blue eyes like me :)

Now she has currently sang You Are My Sunshine 7 times, oh she is my little character!!

Now she is bawling cause Adam started singing that song and she wanted to sing it - oh the joys of a daughter just like me!

BAD SHEENA - NO TEXTING

I should have just crawled into my comfortable bed, with my great comforter, turned my floor fan on, put my sun-shielding/eye soothing/eye cover thing on and went to bed for the rest of the day. I had some near fatal accidents that happened yesterday...I learned some great lessons


7:50pm on my way home from work about to turn left into my neighborhood. Saw a huge truck coming towards me but thought it was going to turn left so I started to go then realized NOPE he is coming through the light so I had to jerk the wheel so I didn't get slammed into, in my little red car. I would have died, very close actually, and I was on the phone. LESSON LEARNED: Don't be on the phone


9:30pm on my way to the gym, just went over the oh so lovely railroad tracks, wasn't paying attention because I was texting, looked up literally with a hald a second to spare before I slammed into a guy walking 2mph across the road in an unlite area with dark clothes on. If I had looked up 1 second later I would have slammed into him going 40mph. No joke that was so scary, luckily I jumped into the other lane. LESSON LEARNED: NEVER TEXT - DORK


Another thing I do on a daily basis - put my makeup on in the car cause I don't have time to do it at home, not enough time, so with my 45 minute drive to everywhere I just do it in the car, I always am swerving into the other lanes, going off the road. Pretty much just the WORST driver, I'm surprised I haven't gotten pulled over for possible DUI LESSON LEARNED: DO MAKEUP AT HOME OR NOT AT ALL


LIFE LESSON LEARNED - - - - YOU SUCK AT DRIVING AND IT SHOULD BE A CRIME FOR ME TO BE OPERATING A VEHICLE!! (HEY ATLEAST I CAN ADMIT IT, RIGHT:o) )
